I travel to different countries every year, but I don't catch travel shows often. To me, this is more about experiencing different cultures and beautiful places. Happiness, which is supposed to be the destination the host is searching for, is pretty relative. We have happy days and unhappy days. It's a struggle, but most of life is a struggle of some kind.
My daughter and her kids LOVE 'The Office'. In the past, I wasn't into tv much so I never watched it, so I'm not familiar with the actor. I watch more tv now and when I saw it on Peacock, I gave it a try.
It's similar to most travel shows in that the host educates themselves on the food, culture and surroundings. We love seeing different places, to me a show doesn't need a niche.
It takes wonderful producers, directors, writers and photographers to capture the country in the small amount of time given.
For the staff listed above (and of course the host and ALL the unamed crew who work hard to pull the show together), its a good show.
I'm a mind-over-matter type of person. I'm 62yrs old, have never taken prescription drugs unless its a 5 day antibiotic and I try to set a good example for my kids & grands -exercise and do everything in moderation to sustain a somewhat normal life. Some of them say, Mom, not all of us can do the mind-over-matter. I try not to focus on the host mentioning his depression so much, but it's a reminder that I shouldn't ignore other's feelings & struggles.
I do prefer to focus on his interactions and experiences. One reviewer mentioned they stopped watching when someone stated the whole country takes anti-depressants. Remember, an interview will contain people's opinions, not necessarily facts. Watch it for the travel experience and you won't be disappointed.
